#shinji desperado

[incorporealbagelbeing]

Posting my second prompt for the Desperado Bang!!! I chose flowers and it ended up being a few sketch pages!

[Image ID: four pages of sketches of desperado characters. Elio is a man with curly hair and flannel in the first sketch, with a flower crown and a worried expression. In the next sketch, his chest is bare, and he looks off to the side with a slight smile. In the third, he stands in front of a tombstone, a sad expression on his face, with flowers resting on top of the stone. Lastly, he is wearing a jacket and a tank top with a rose on it. Text reads, from an offscreen person, "is that my tank top?", and Elio is responding "maybe." With a slight smile.

Shinji is in the next sketch, with shaved hair and wings behind him, shedding flowers and petals. In the first sketch, he is wearing a hoodie that reads " I fucked a warlock and all I got was this hoodie". He is saying " all right, very funny". Text underneath reads "it was incredibly comfortable though." In the next, he looks mildly pissed off or tired, and is wearing a brightly floral Hawaiian shirt. In thr third sketch, he is slightly hunched and is smiling, ever so slightly uncomfortably, with a flower crown on his head. Lastly, he is in a sketch wearing a jacket with several thought bubbles reading "shit, what flowers are romantic? But not too romantic, idk, argh this is so hard, what would he even like anyway?" Below these bubbles is an arrow pointing to a small sketch of flowers and text reading "he got tulips" in parentheses.

Next is Talia, who is a fat woman with loose natural hair. In the first sketch, she is smiling and wearing a loose dress, and has a flower crown in her hair. In the next sketch, she holds a flowerpot and has her hair tied back from her face with a bandanna, headband, or scarf. She looks content and calm. In the third sketch, her hair is around her face in profile, and she is still showing off a flower crown. In the last sketch, she is absent. This is of a hospital room with a sign reading "Patient: T. Louis" by the door. The room shows a hospital bed, and a table with a card and a flowerpot on it.

Lastly is a sketch page of Samar. Samar is a woman with a braid, and in the first sketch she is shown to have the same tank top with a rose on from earlier. Her braid coils around her shoulders, and she has a small smile on her face that seems almost mischievous. In the second sketch, she has a detailed profile, with flowers and a flower crown in her braid. This is drawn in less of a simple style but is not truly realistic. The last sketch is of Samar gently smiling and handing Elio a bouquet of flowers. While Samar looks calm, Elio is blushing and seems surprised, although pleasantly so. End image ID]

Started listening to desperado podcast. It’s fun

#except that the wings guy being named shinji takes me tf out every time #shinji the business rat shinji get in the robot etc #desperado podcast

Shinji is so blasé about killing these random racist people to steal their cars, I love it. If I'd had to guess, I would have thought he'd feel a little morality crisis about killing any small fry, so I'm tickled that he hardly even gives it a second thought. Hell, he even threatens to destroy the cars (ergo needing to kill more people) just to get Samedi and Catrina to stop squabbling

#desperado podcast #mineminemine #Also his minimalist description of doing so with the blood running down his wings? HOT #Shinji deserves to murder. As a treat #Amendment: all 3 of them +their gods deserves to do many a murders. As an extra big treat. And because I would delight in listening to it

[the-official-account]

so I realized that in the spirit of saying fuck beauty standards with my reply and for a few obscure lore/real life reasons, and just because like....giving people uncommon representation, I want to draw shinji with dark skin! however This manifested in the joke "Oh!!! I should toast him i should put him in the pot" and I went to draw shinji again but i have to leave the house suddenly but before i got started on the drawing I warmed up with this comic that i realize NOW is deeply odd? but you can have it.

What do Fiction Podcasts have to say about the future?

Whenever you write a story set years from now, how you construct the world around it creates a new way to see the future, a fictional image to a reality we could be headed towards.

Fiction podcasts love to play within the sci-fi genre, and the thousands of audio dramas they have given us new pictures of what our world could look like in the next century (or a few years closer).

In this article I want to analyze the settings in the following shows: Hello from the Hallowoods, Desperado and The Strange Case of Starship Iris.

Hello From the Hallowoods

Hello From the Hallowoods welcomes us to a world ravaged by black rains and capitalism’s greed. After a natural (but man-made) disaster involving acid rain and flooding the world’s successions gave birth to two different types of beings: those who prefer to dream in a company’s “Prime Dream” and those who stay awake to continue living.

Even though the world is post-apocalyptic on paper, it never feels like it. Rather it is enchanted, there are woods where gods, revenants, devils, giants and zombies fall in love with themselves and with each other, places where community is found.

This, I attribute this to the fact that most characters don’t lament a nebulous “end of the world”, since this is the world they have always been living in and they are going to make the best of it: find family, friends, lovers, build homes and destroy bigots.

You leave the world of Hello From the Hallowoods knowing that even a doomed world is worthy of being awake for.

Desperado Podcast

Desperado Podcast also takes us to a world that was looted, but this time mainly by religious colonialism. 

Neo-colionalism has made itself tangible through genocides and direct targeting to believers that worship other than the “Old man in the Sky”.  In its first episode a community in México which revere La Catrina (a goddess in the show inspired by a popular figure in mexican art) is wiped out by the crusaders. 

From there our protagonist Elio is the sole survivor of his people, however all is not lost as he teams up with Talia (the chosen of Baron Samedi) and Shinji (whom I believe is a death kami?).

Elio now literally carries the memories of his community as the vessel for her goddess. Likewise in Desperado, the magic of the characters is the legacy their ancestors gave them, and it is what keeps them alive in the violent world. 

Though if we are ever to worry that our protagonist could fall into its clutches, the structure of the world soothes our preoccupations. You see, it is the characters within the story that are narrating their own experiences to the audience so we know that after all the pain, they ended up safe.

What Desperado tells us about the future is that, even with the ongoing genocides, white-washing of our culture, and neo-colonialism in general we will end up victorious in the end, and that our history will be forever within our memory.

The Strange Case of Starship Iris

The Strange Case of Starship Iris, is the most sci-fi audio drama out of the bunch. It follows the crew of the Rumour, a smuggler's ship, as they try to uncover the dark secrets of the Federation and evade persecution.

As with the other two properties, the future is not an easy world, but our characters are making the most of it.

In a post-war galaxy, the crew of the Rumour is smuggling space-ship parts, medicine, and erotic magazines until they find a help alarm coming from the Starship Iris and rescue biologist Violet Liu. From there they are involved in a mystery which, if the truth comes to life, they could be charged with treason against the Intergalactic Republic. 

Throughout the two seasons of the podcast, Violet Liu and company heal together the scars that the war and its result: the Intergalactic Republic left them. They fight against the government not only through robberies, infiltration, and coordinated efforts with rebel groups but also by eating latkes, drinking, singing shanties, and getting gay jewish married.

To conclude

if queer podcasts are telling us something about the future, it is that it may be equally messed up as the present but that queer, disabled people of color will exist beyond the end of the world and that even in the bleakest of futures we will continue to love and thrive.

262 on my randomised list is @desperado-podcast!

Elio, Shinji, and Talia have each been chosen by the god of Death of their respective culture to bring down the Old Man In The Sky. Together, they recount their journeys from different parts of the world, fighting crusaders and inquisitors, in narration laced with banter and tales of questionable decisions.

Two seasons are currently available, a total of 23 full episodes.

Started listening to @desperado-podcast this week and got so sucked in during season 1 that I had to make a bracelet for their cover art. I wasn't sure which colour wire to use though, so I made three versions!

Red wire for Elio/La Catrina and their blood powers

Gold wire for Talia/Baron Samedi, God of the Party

Black wire for Shinji and his spirit of Death.

The bead pattern is the same for all. It's fun to see how the different colours of wire accent and highlight the beads in different ways. Which version is your favourite?

Okay posting for the Desperado Bang Part 1!! Prompt was triptych!!

[Image ID: a black and white and grey sketch of three figures, (the main trio) each in their own rectangles, are aligned next to each other in a triptych. Shinji is falling, an upset and surprised look on his face as he falls. His wings are slightly extended, petals and flowers visible. He wears a jacket, pants, and high top shoes. He is somewhat upside down as he falls. The Roman numeral at the top of his rectangle reads 2. Elio is in the center panel, the Roman numeral 1 at the top of the rectangle. He appears to be hunched on the ground somewhat, actively staring at something in concentration. His hair is short and he has some facial hair, and he wears a jacket with bloodstains across it in places. Behind his crouched figure is a messy blood spatter pattern. He wears jeans and boots. On the farthest right, is Talia. She has an afro, and is holding a spear. She smiles and has various bone fragments floating around her, and she is dressed in a t shirt, leggings or jeans, and hiking boots. She has a Roman numeral three at the top of her sketch.

Hi!!! This is as weird because I'm a massive fan of your art from tpp but this is another question. I'm prepping a birthday post for Shinji Wataname (desperado podcast) for his birthday July 29th! I was wondering if I could crop his face out of some of your art (the one linked) to include in a happy birthday meme? With credit listed.

Lights Out

Here's my second work for the @adesperadofanblog Blorbo Bingo Bango Desperado 2022!! This one was for the prompt Lights Out!

[ID: A digital drawing of Elio, Shinji, and Talia from Desperado Podcast, standing side by side in the dark. In the center Shinji, a short Japanese man in a buzzcut, is standing with his arms crossed. Shinji is wearing a dark red tank top and jeans, and has glowing pink wings stretched out behind him. Talia, a tall Haitian woman with long braids, is on Shinji's right side. She is wearing a white crop top, purple bomber jacket, and baggy jeans, and has her elbow resting on Shinji's shoulder. She is holding a long bone spear in one hand and has a glowing purple skeleton drawn over her body. Elio, a Mexican man with short curly hair, is standing to the left of Shinji, cracking his knuckles as if ready for a fight. He is wearing a white shirt, brown jacket, and jeans and red blood gauntlets. He has glowing vein-like tattoos drawn over his body, and a glowing chest tattoo of three roses. All three characters are back-lit by the pink light of Shinji's wings. End ID.]
